Cops are usually one of two things.

  1. bullied future stalker

  2. (rarely) defending us from bullied future stalker

The later is possible, and I’d bet many try to get into policing because of that ideal, but I hear they tend to get bullied out of the profession by the former, or else converted by them.

As the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the bunch.
